TS116Y Tournament Series Precision Muskie Landing Net - Hoop 36"X38", Length 116",Gold/Black

I go to Canada every other year to Muskie fish and I was looking for a strong net that was collapsible to free up some room on the boats. We just got back and I thought i would write a review of the products i used and let people know how they performed. On our trip we caught some good fish 45", 42" 40" 38". This net worked out great! it stored away nicely, unfolded as advertised and did a great job. The hinge system worked without any issues however it took a couple of fish to master how it unfolded. This net was a great investment that should perform well for years to come.

Large net very deep as well folds into half bad a$$. This net is thin but plastic coating to protect fish slime protection and hooks from getting into it.Down side the net is on the heavy side and the handle has sharp edges where it separates and could scrape / cut your hands if you've have those baby soft skin like mine haha , but you can use a dermal to smooth it out.Too big for me wish there were a OPEN picture of it so I could judge before buying it , thank Amazon for a EASY fast return and credit.I'm gonna do you all a BIG favor and post a open net on my front door, the net is deep to reach my chest I'm 5'7''.Total length of the whole net is 116' end to end.Help other buyers review this post by giving a star, thumbs up, mark helpful whatever it take to pass the news of this nets size.Thank You Keep those lines tight Rudy out!

Great muskie net. I have a bass boat so storage is slim for a net this size. It collapses and sets up easy and I use a rod strap to secure it to the deck. Landed 5 solo muskies this season with a 43" as my best and had no issues.

I bought this net for Musky fishing in a canoe down small rivers. I also have the frabil stow net and they are almost the exact same net. I netted 80 muskies with this net last year including fish well over 50" and it performed well and got the job done. The only thing I dont like is theyve gone cheap with the netting. They made the netting thinner and small to reduce harm on the fish. It does work perfectly in that aspect compared to other nets ive used. This net protects the slime coat and I didnt have any muskies with cut fins or any cuts from the netting which was really nice. The muskies cut holes in the netting though with there teeth. You get the fish in the net it goes crazy and this netting just sticks in the fishes mouth compared to other nets and the fish tears it apart. I had to tie prob about 7-8 large holes in the netting last summer from fish ripping it apart. I expect more from a 200$ net. Other then that this is a great net performs great. The prob is if your like me and need a folding net you dont even really have any other options besides the frabil. The frabil has the same netting as the stowmaster with the same problem. If I had to choose Id def pick the stowmaster it feels stronger and more well built then the frabil. Both nets are pretty much the same though "same design" so you really cant go wrong.

Bought this for my husband for musky and northern fishing. Features work great as expected and the quality is really nice. We liked the construction better than the frabill net that is similar and so we went with this Stowmaster instead. Really deep net depth, maybe a little overkill for us, but it won't let any fish out of the net once in! Love the coated netting and it seems like it will really last a lot of years! So far this summer, we love this net and would recommend to trophy fishermen!

Good: folds/stores well; goes through the water great when netting the fish; extends and locks easily; netting doesn't damage tail;Bad: netting too thin and gets tangled/bunched up (big time) if the fish rolls in the net-major mess with the hooks and fish, I ended up with a treble in each hand trying to untangle; too much netting (believe it or not)-after 3-4 times of balling up with a fish in it you have to try to lift the net up out of the water to try and avoid a mess; design weakness at the base of the net frame-there are two bends that are a weak point, both of mine broke while collapsing--the frame caught on the pole and both sides snapped;Ended up not being my "net for the rest of my life," especially for the cost. Some nets are too thick and damage the fish while this one is too thin-somewhere in-between would be my advice. I would not buy this net-too many issues, especially once the fish gets into the net.

My husband is beyond happy! Well made, strong, and the convenience of folding puts this net well above the other choices.
